PROGRAM:
NAME
GROK-PULL - Clone or update local git repositories
SYNOPSIS
grok-pull -c /path/to/repos.conf
DESCRIPTION
This utility runs from a cronjob and downloads the latest manifest from the grokmirror
master. If there are new repositories or changes in the existing repositories, grok-pull
will perform the necessary git commands to clone or fetch the required data from the
master.
At the end of its run, grok-pull will generate its own manifest file, which can then be
used for further mirroring.
OPTIONS
--version
show program's version number and exit
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-v, --verbose
Be verbose and tell us what you are doing
-n, --no-mtime-check
Run without checking manifest mtime.
-f, --force
Force full git update regardless of last-modified times. Also useful when
repos.conf has changed.
-p, --purge
Remove any git trees that are no longer in manifest.
-y, --pretty
Pretty-print the generated manifest (sort repos and add indentation). This is
much slower, so should be used with caution on large collections.
-r, --reuse-existing-repos
If any existing repositories are found on disk, set new remote origin and reuse
-c CONFIG, --config=CONFIG
Location of repos.conf
EXAMPLES
Locate repos.conf and modify it to reflect your needs. The default configuration file is
heavily commented.
Add a cronjob to run as frequently as you like. For example, add the following to
/etc/cron.d/grokmirror.cron:
# Run grok-pull every minute as user "mirror"
* * * * * mirror /usr/bin/grok-pull -p -c /etc/grokmirror/repos.conf
Make sure the user "mirror" (or whichever user you specified) is able to write to the
toplevel, log and lock locations specified in repos.conf.
